From 1st April 2013 triaxle tractor units towing triaxle semi-trailers may operate at a gross combination weight of 46
tonnes. However, in addition to satisfying the requirements of an appropriate motor vehicle and appropriate semitrailer respectively; they must also satisfy the following additional criteria in order to be allowed to operate as part of
a 46 tonne combination:
Tractor units and semi-trailers already in service on 1st April 2013 will require Electronic Braking Systems (EBS). Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) are not sufficient. New tractor units first registered on or after 1st April 2013 (in addition
to requiring EBS) will also need Vehicle Stability Function (VSF) which is more commonly known as Electronic Stability
Control (ESC); and semi-trailers first licensed on or after 1st April 2013 (in addition to requiring EBS) will also require
roll stability control.

MAXIMUM WEIGHT FOR A LARGE PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLE
LARGE PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLE = A VEHICLE WHICH IS USED FOR THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS FOR REWARD WHICH HAS

IN CALCULATING THE WEIGHT LADEN OF A LARGE PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLE OR THE WEIGHT TRANSMITTED TO THE SURFACE
OF THE ROAD BY AN AXLE OR A WHEEL THEREOF, THE VEHICLE IS DEEMED TO BE CARRYING ITS FULL COMPLEMENT OF
STANDING AND SITTING PASSENGERS IF WEIGHTS OF 65 KILOGRAMS EACH ARE TO BE PLACED IN THE CORRECT RELATIVE
POSITIONS FOR THE DRIVER AND EACH PASSENGER.
From 1st June 2015 six (or more) axle rigid truck and drawbar trailer combinations may operate at a gross
combination weight of 46 tonnes. However, in addition to satisfying the requirements of an appropriate motor
vehicle they must also satisfy the following additional safety criteria:
3 or more axle rigid trucks and 2 (or more) axle drawbar trailers already in service on 1st June 2015 will require
Electronic Braking Systems (EBS). Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) are not sufficient. New three axle rigid trucks first
registered on or after 1st June 2015 (in addition to requiring EBS) will also need Vehicle Stability Function (VSF) which
is more commonly known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). New drawbar trailers first licensed on or after 1st June
2015 (in addition to requiring EBS) will also require roll stability control. Note that new four (or more) axle rigid trucks
first registered on or after 1st June 2015 will not require ESC to operate as part of a 46 tonne combination.
